Got to tell this story about Roy Clark. While working as his security at the Indiana State Fair, Roy was coming out of dressing room while stage announcer was shouting “and now ladies&gentlemen here is Roy Clark”. Roy stopped at a little girls wheelchair that we had placed so she could see Roy, but Roy stopped and talked to her while the announcer was continuing and Roy told me them people can wait while he was talking to the little girl. I cannot tell this story without crying although it occurred 45 years ago in 1978.

In 1977 I was living in Oxford, Ohio, attending Miami University. I was renting a room in a house from an old gentleman, Cliff Biltz. Cliff was retired, and as a hobby he built banjos from scratch. His banjos were in great demand, and late at night musicians who had played gigs in Cincinnati or Dayton would make the drive to try out and buy Cliff's banjos. I would hear them playing them downstairs. They all sounded very impressive. One night I heard somebody downstairs playing banjo that blew all those other banjo players away. I was tempted to sneak downstairs and peek around the corner to see who this fantastic musician was, but it was around 2 or 3 in the morning and I had an 8 o'clock class, so I reluctantly went back to sleep. The next day I asked Cliff, who WAS that? Cliff proudly said, that was Roy Clark. If you ever see video of Roy Clark on Hee Haw playing a banjo that says "Biltz" on the headstock, that's the same banjo.

What a lot of people don't understand is that most of the rockers looked up to guys like Roy, Glen Campbell, and a few more extremely talented guitar players. They would ask these guys to come into the studio and play guitar for so many songs. I grew up in the seventies and listened to so many of these guys. I wish the youth of today would understand that Country isn't a bad word. The thing that sucks about getting old is losing so much talent. So glad we have KZitem to hold these memories to watch over and over.

Whats really amazing about his malaguena is how he took a flamenco piece typically played with the fingers on a flamenco/classical guitar and played it with a pick- with tripletts and all...he is a master and a genuine warm human being...

Roy Clark, was a self taught musician. I was told, he also didn't read music. He could play any instrument, his trombone playing was epic.

JW Clarks accuracy and speed and versatility with other stringed instruments is off the charts. To play that fast and clean is amazing. A lot of those HeeHaw guys were off the charts. Glenn Campbell for instance had cornball songs like 'rhinestone cowboys' but was respected by ALL guitarists of all styles. Considered a Mount Rushmore player

Got to meet him once when I was a kid...he was the guest of honor at the state fair and was handing out awards for various things...I was in 4H and won a competition with a pig I'd raised. I was...10, I think? I sorta/kinda knew him from listening to my parents albums and 8-tracks (yeah, I'm that old), and he was super nice. Spent time with all us kids, just chatting about our animals and whatnot. Was just a regular, genuine guy. He used to play quite a lot of state and county fairs as well, and was always such a pleasure to watch live. Saw him several times as a teen, and even got an autograph once. He was still just as awesome to meet/chat with then. RIP to a truly prodigious talents and a fantastic human being.
